1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Antibiotic Resistance (ABR) is a global concern and while many students are aware of this issue, many of them are unclear on the mechanisms by which ABR may emerge. The mechanism of horizontal gene transfer is something many students are not familiar with. In this curriculum contribution we present 2 versions of an 'interrupted case study' that is designed as an introduction to horizontal gene transfer for early major students and as a review case for advanced major students in biology and life sciences. The case is based on an authentic patient who developed infections with both methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin resistant S. aureus. The interrupted case study is appropriate for small and large groups and engages students while content is introduced in a highly structured way. This type of case study can be done by novice and seasoned instructors and lead to considerable learning gains in both introductory and intermediate microbiology courses.
